Title: Therapeutic peptides
Inventor: COY DAVID H
IPC: C07K7/08
Filed: 1989-10-13
Abstract: In general, the invention features a linear (i.e., non-cyclic) bombesin analog of biologically active mammalian gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and amphibian bombesin, having an active site and a binding site responsable for the binding of the peptide to a receptor on a target cell; cleavage of a peptide bond in the active site of naturally occuring bombesin or GRP is unnecessary for in vivo bilogical activity. The analog has one of the following modifications: (a) a deletion of a residue within the active site and a modification of a residue outside of the active site, or (b) a remplacement of one or two residues within the active site with a synthetic amino acid. The analog is capable of binding to the receptor and acting as a competitive inhibitor of the naturally occurring peptide by binding to the receptor and, by virtue of one of the modifications, failing to exhibit the in vivo biological activity of the naturally occurring peptide.

Title: Cellular radiotelephone with dialed number analysis
Inventor: ZICKER ROBERT G
IPC: H04M1/27485
Filed: 1995-02-01
Abstract: A radiotelephone (10) simulates the call origination process performed by land-line telephones. Dial tone is generated (78) in response to an off-hook condition and removed when a first digit (54) is dialed. A timer process (84, 110) and a number analysis process (100) simultaneously evaluate dialed digits to detect the completion of dialing. The number analysis process (100) identifies seven, ten, and eleven digit, and indeterminate length phone number formats (64, 66, 52, 68). The ten digit format is recognized in response to remotely programmed (42) connected NPA codes. For most calls, the number analysis process (100) instantly detects a phone number's final digit (62). In a few cases the timer process (84, 110) detects the final digit through the absence of dialing activity for a predetermined duration. When the final digit (62) is detected, an origination message is transmitted to a cellular network.

Title: System and method for measuring the grip performance of a vehicle
Inventor: HALLIDAY DONALD R
IPC: B60T8/172
Filed: 1995-03-31
Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for measuring the grip performance of a vehicle through relation to a lumped-sum parameter derived from force and displacement measurements taken from selected elements forming the suspension of the vehicle. For at least one wheel of the vehicle, the magnitude and relative direction of the instantaneous load force vector acting on each support member thereof are measured. The load force vectors are resolved with respect to a relative plane into a first load force component, a second load force component normal to said first component, and a third load force component normal to said first and said second component. The load force components then are related to a common reference plane to derive normalized load force components, which normalized components then are summed to derive total normalized first, second, and third load force components which correspond to the instantaneous grip force developed between the wheel of the vehicle and the ground surface.

Title: High efficiency methods and compositions for integrating exogenous dna into genomic dna of sperm
Inventor: SHEMESH MORDECHAI
IPC: C07K14/08
Filed: 1999-02-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to high efficiency methods and compositions for stably integrating exogenous double-stranded DNA into the chromosomal DNA of sperm cells. The exogenous DNA to be integrated into the sperm is converted to a linear double stranded DNA possessing single-stranded cohesive ends, by contacting said exogenous DNA with a type II restriction enzyme that upon scission, generates such ends. The DNA to be cut can be a circular DNA such as in a plasmid, such that it possesses at least one recognition and cutting site outside of the genes or regulatory regions critical to the desired, post-integration function of the DNA, and no recognition and cutting sites within the critical regions. The exogenous DNA is then introduced into sperm cells, as is some of the type II restriction enzyme used above to generate the single-stranded cohesive ends on the exogenous DNA. The DNA and the corresponding restriction enzyme can be introduced into the sperm cells, together or sequentially, by electroporation or lipofection or by any other technique that preserves enough of said sperm's mobility and fertilization functions. The sperm containing the integrated exogenous DNA can then be used to fertilize eggs by artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, or other fertilization methods known in the art, thereby producing transgenic animals wherein all or a plurality of cells now contain the exogenous DNA stably integrated into their respective genomes. The present invention also relates to transgenic animals or their descendants produced by methods or compositions herein disclosed. The present invention further relates to cells or cell lines derived from transgenic animals or their descendants produced by methods or compositions herein disclosed. The present invention further relates to proteins or other gene products encoded for by the exogenously introduced DNA isolated from said transgenic animals or their descendants. The present invention further relates to using the method of the present invention to produce transgenic animals resistant to diseases, and to the disease-resistant animals thereby produced.
